What's wrong with this lawyer?!
Chapter 234: Has Old Tang secretly completed the task?_2
Li Wei was brought to the investigation area, and the inquiry soon began.
Since she arrived quite late today, it was impossible for her to be released on bail waiting for trial. However, considering her status as a pregnant woman, staying at the station wouldn't really affect her.
By the afternoon of the following day, Li Wei slowly walked out of the police station, her expression much more exhilarated, exactly as Lawyer Tang had described from start to finish!
Today, Bright District's public security authorities had directly approved her bail. Throughout the entire process, she never once mentioned wanting to be bailed out...
Professional, truly too professional, Li Wei felt that the law she understood and the law as seen through the eyes of a senior lawyer were two different things. She knew about turning herself in and the likes, but she didn't know it could be applied here.
While Li Wei was reflecting, inside Tengda, Old Tang finally finished the seemingly endless video editing.
This time, the video was very long – an hour in duration.
You heard it right, it could almost be regarded as a movie.
Old Tang started from his chance encounter with Huang Licheng, to helping him apply for legal aid, submitting appeals to the higher court, Wen Weilin jeopardizing himself to infiltrate... and so on, compiling everything into a video.
The reason it was so lengthy primarily stemmed from the thirty-one cases being overly numerous, and due to these thirty-one cases, even more people were implicated.
In this regard, Old Tang wouldn't make a mistake. The people listed in the video as having been dealt with were all officially announced by the authorities.
The quake in Lincheng City was a real shake-up, and the outcomes for who got what kind of treatment were basically all published. With a little effort, one could find the information.
Old Tang's task was just to make a summary.
However, previously those results were published in piecemeal. Now, gathering all these people into one list and attaching their former positions made the view extremely startling!
By one's own efforts, to have so many people removed from their posts and still live well, tell me, isn't that astounding?
After the video was completed, Old Tang promptly wrote down the prepared title: "I Only Encourage Reason, Do You Believe It?"
But before the video was released, it was necessary to communicate with the publicity department comrades whom he had contacted before. After all, releasing such material could easily lead to complications.
And here lies the benefit of smooth collaboration with official departments. Old Zhou was part of the provincial publicity department, and as long as they agreed, there would be no issues upon release of the video.
Old Tang sent the video to Old Zhou and waited until that evening for a reply.
"Old Tang, are you really planning to broadcast this video?"
Old Zhou didn't comment on his boldness, because by now the whole country recognized Old Tang's audacity.
In response, Old Tang replied, "So can this video be released or not?"
"This type of video is generally forbidden from being released by individual media platforms; however, your case is a bit special. Hence, we've decided to consider this video as part of our collaboration."
"But since it's our collaboration, you'll need to make some edits to the video. There are some parts that can use the real material. Wait for me to finish the changes and I'll let you know."
Upon reading the reply, Old Tang couldn't help but laugh. He had originally just planned to discuss with Old Zhou and try to release the video without any cuts.
What he didn't expect was that they would want to collaborate!
Moreover, their intention was clear – now that they were involved, the video couldn't be too trivial; no need to use animations or voiceovers anymore. Instead, let's go for the originals!
There were even interviews where those people faced the camera and expressed their regrets while shedding tears, a common tactic used in anti-corruption documentaries.
This time, Lincheng's situation was serious but not grand-scale; after all, it was just one city. Many of the investigated retires were from lower levels, mainly at the district and county level, where they held significant power, that's all.
Indeed, rank and power are not synonymous. Students from county towns should know it well – the head of the Education Bureau is just a director-level official, but in the county town, would you say they're influential or not?
Old Tang could only say that he had slightly underestimated the publicity department, but this was even better. At least, no platform would dare to block the video now, and with such a wealth of original material, the video's impact would be explosive!
Remaking the video would take time, and Old Tang, not inclined to do much else, began to wander around his housing estate.
Thinking about it, he seemed to have spent little time living in this house, as opposed to the numerous hotels he'd stayed in elsewhere.
So boring. Tomorrow, go for a photo with Ji Xugang, and the day after, contact Old Han. That consultancy event can begin as well.
Right, last time at the high court, I noticed Old Zhou's hair seemed to be thicker. Not good, I prefer Old Zhou's Mediterranean look.
Maybe I'll add some KPIs for the Guangming District Court? It's been a while since I went there, and I kind of miss it.
With plans formulated, he happily went home to sleep.
The next day at noon in Lincheng City, Old Tang once again met Ji Xugang and heaped high praise on his mediation skills!
"Lawyer Tang, my... my little skills are nothing. I simply attempt to understand your thoughts and then use our mediators' talk to make the other side agree, but you are the truly skilled one!" Ji Xugang laughed sheepishly.
He himself didn't consider his methods particularly clever; they were just the usual tactics applied to ordinary people but now used on the court.
And you couldn't argue with the results – surprisingly effective.
